SELLING OUT/CASHING IN- Lyrics by Anderson Mar

VERSE 1:
Back in the day
You stood up for your art
You took up your cross
And you lived with your heart
You embraced what was real
With a passionate zeal
A revolution was born
One that sometimes drew scorn

But we fought the good fight
Because we knew what was right
For the good of the scene
We gave life to our dreams
The empire was built
By a king and his queen
For a moment we were stars
Of the stage and the screen

But now you’re slave to the media,
Slave to the masses,
Possessed by the mindset of the lower classes
They never could trust us
Now you’ve embraced their injustice
Destroy it all, knock it down
Your Icarus wings have hit the ground…

CHORUS:
I call it selling out
You call it cashing in
You think you’re better now
You were a better person then
Retrieve your sanity
Be real again, be free
The path you started out on
Was the right one, can’t you see?

VERSE 2:
You would lie through your teeth
Just to save your own skin
You would sell me down the river
To impress your fake friends
It’s like the Sampson effect
Now you’ve lost all your strength
The very hand that feeds you
Is the one that you reject

You like to pretend
That we never were close
If I said that I would hang myself
Then you’d supply the rope
You try to ride my coat-tails
But your own ventures fail
It’s clear that you’re a laughing stock
You talk the talk, can’t walk the walk

And now you’re slave to the media,
Slave to the masses,
Possessed by the mindset of the lower classes
They never could trust us
Now you’ve embraced their injustice
Destroy it all, knock it down
Your Icarus wings have hit the ground…

(CHORUS)
